BenRiach &
GlenDronach launch online conversation
series which starts tonight at 8pm on
Instagram Live.
The
masters behind BenRiach and The
GlenDronach are inviting whisky fans
worldwide to embrace their extra time at
home with an online conversation series
exploring the many possibilities of
Single Malt whisky.
Both whisky connoisseurs and the whisky
curious are invited to join each
conversation via @BenRiach and
@GlenDronach on Instagram Live, with the
option to ask questions in advance.
Exploring Flavour with BenRiach
Today (Wednesday 8 April) at 8pm (BST)
on Instagram Live, the BenRiach
conversation series will begin by taking
viewers on a rich journey into the art
of distillation, exploring how this
impacts the flavour possibilities of
this unconventional Speyside Single Malt
whisky.
Bringing BenRiach’s three distinct
styles of classic, peated and triple
distilled spirit to life, the discussion
will be hosted by Keeper of the Quaich
and Global Brand Ambassador Stewart
Buchanan who helped bring the distillery
back into production in 2004, with Head
of Advocacy, Douglas Cook, who is
responsible for introducing BenRiach’s
flavour palette to countries across the
world, sharing the distillery’s rich
heritage in the process.
‘Coorie in’ with The GlenDronach: Master
the art of fine Single Malt at home.
For those who like to slow down and
fully appreciate their whisky in
comfort, The GlenDronach will host its
first Instagram Live conversation on
Wednesday 15 April at 8pm (BST),
inviting whisky connoisseurs to embrace
the traditional Scottish notion of
‘coorie’ whilst savouring its
characterful and richly sherried
Highland Single Malt.
‘Coorie’ is a traditional Scottish word,
meaning to cosy and snuggle in. The
concept encourages the appreciation of
one’s surroundings, finding contentment
in simple pleasures and leading a
quieter existence.
Master Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie and
Stewart Buchanan will discuss the
artistry of traditional whisky making at
the Highland distillery and how they
like to ‘coorie in’ with The GlenDronach
at home, encouraging viewers to develop
both their flavour palate and Single
Malt expertise. Viewers will be able to
send questions to Rachel in advance via
@GlenDronach , with a rare opportunity
to learn more about her role as a Master
Blender with over 27 years’ experience
in crafting fine Single Malts.
The GlenDronach and BenRiach Master
Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie said:
“One of the most special things about
whisky is its ability to bring people
together through a shared passion and
interest in its stories. This is why we
are inviting whisky lovers to make the
most of this time at home to learn
something new whilst staying safe.
Whether it’s embracing the notion of ‘coorie’,
or learning about the art of exploring
flavour in Single Malt, we hope that
people enjoy tuning in to join us for a
dram.”
The GlenDronach and BenRiach Global
Brand Ambassador, Stewart Buchanan
added:
“My job is to travel the globe, sharing
the stories of BenRiach and GlenDronach.
Now that I am grounded so to speak, it’s
great to be able to use this time to
delve deeper into our whiskies from the
comfort of my own home in Speyside,
passing on knowledge and encouraging
conversation.”
To take part in the first episodes of
the live conversation series, tune in on
@BenRiach on Instagram at 8pm (BST)
today and on @GlenDronach on Wednesday
15 April at 8pm (BST).

The BenRiach or The GlenDronach to
